Food Stands near Elmhurst, NY

“Came with my boyfriend whos been here multiple times and said it was delicious, and he wasn’t wrong. We got chicken, squid, chinese sausage, ricecake, shrimp, and beef skewers that were ALL amazing. HIGHLY recommend the spicy powder on any skewer you order. I have low tolerance for spice, but it was just a small kick for a couple seconds. I will be coming here way more often, I found my favorite food spot for late night snacks.“

“I still think about this guys gyro. My wife and I stopped at the pizza place across the street and I wanted to try this guys food. My wife and I shared gyro and fries. The hot sauce, the meat, the tzatziki, the lettuce, the tomatoes, everything so fresh, and the taste. Who would think 5 years later this is still the best we have ever had. On top of it all his service and kind smile was so genuine. Absolute 5 star food. Loved it and can’t wait to try again!“

“Excellent place to try new foods.“

“I went to a lot of restaurants in New York that were much fancier than this cart but this was my favorite food of the day. The cheong fun was gooey and had qq and a decent amount of meat. For $5 for the large, it was such a deal and fed three of us as a snack. I would go back in a heartbeat and order more. Wish we had this in Chinatown in Houston.“

“I've tried a handful of spots at Urban Hawker, but this one might just be my favorite.

I've tried their Chicken Cutlet Curry Rice and their Grilled Chicken Curry Rice. Both are so good. I can see why their curry sauce is in half their menu lol. The curry is not too spicy, and the flavors just hit. It pairs really well with the chicken, whether grilled or cutlet. They also add an immense amount of cabbage. I am a big fan of vegetables, so I always love when restaurants give generous portions of it in a dish.

I'm honestly so stoked to come back and try their Hainanese Fish and Chips (saw many great reviews about).“

“I have been coming to Continental Express for the past I don't even remember how many years but they their food is just simply amazing tasty they're really nice everything about them is the best they are one and only food truck that I go to and is not many but that is the one that I go to when I am downtown Manhattan they are phenomenal all the best to them and they're great food.“

“Me and my friend had the pleasure of wandering upon this foodtruck. The staff are lovely, personable and beyond the fantastic oxtail we got to enjoy, they also provided us with great conversation and vibes. Highly recommend! Love you guys, Andrea from London.“

“In love with this place could eat here everyday omg I dream about this place often the sauces the ribs the chicharrones omg so crispy so juicy can’t wait to have the brisket they was out when I went but most def soon will try, oh and the freaking corn bread beyond amazing“

“Just passing by and purchased two Onigiri (prim and salmon). They’re very delicious and will come back for sure. The quality of steamed white rice is excellent!“

“stumbled upon this food truck at 95 Wall Street, and it was such a pleasant surprise! The service was quick and super friendly, which is perfect for the busy Wall Street crowd. The food was fresh, flavorful, and served hot—I could tell they really care about quality. Prices were reasonable, especially considering the generous portions. The menu had a great variety, so whether you’re in the mood for something light or hearty, you’ll find it here. Definitely one of the best lunch spots in the area. I’ll be coming back often!“

“A fun and delicious way to try interesting food and drinks from around the world and the city!“

“If you are like me and have not had delicious barbecue for a long time, you will probably find it quite good. It feels like a Cantonese barbecue flavor. The pork is a salty barbecued pork, and the king of kings is also a little salty. Others I ordered include beef, mutton, gluten, and chicken hearts, which were both good! I love charcoal grilling + fresh grilling. Remember to bring cash!“

“SOOOOO GOOOOD GREAT SERVICE TELL EVERYONE THIS IS A HIDDEN GEM AMAZING STAFF AMAZING FOOD & ATMOSPHERE REAL VIBE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥GO CHECK THEM OUT !!! Chicken platter my favorite ❤️“

“Karl's Balls are some of the tastiest I have ever had in this world. Hot, savory, and so meaty! 🐙“

“Best soy milk , tofu and tofu pudding in the U.S.! They use a type of soy beans that are tinier, not the bigger ones grown in U.S. or Canada. The soy flavor is much more packed and stronger in their soy products!

If you wanna buy their soy beans, ask them for a loose 2-pound pack.“

“Was grabbing food at another stall at the Urban Hawker center & stopped by here just to try the char kway teow. It was absolutely delicious, better and more authentic than other places I’ve been to. Would highly recommend trying it out.“

“Visiting the dosa man in Washington Square Park is definitely a bucket list item, but the wait will have you considering the merits of the sunk cost fallacy. There seemed to be someone working there whose only job was to hand out napkins—some type of executive training program perhaps. I got a masala dosa for $9 which comes with a vegetable lentil soup and coconut chutney. The texture is crisp on the outside and is filled with spiced potatoes, a fitting complement for a nice park hang.“

“Las mejores chalupas !!!sin duda volveremos muy pronto 😋🥰“

“The auntie at this cart pays attention to the details and does not skimp on the sauce, she used a scissor to make small openings in the noodle for the sauce to seep through to the bottom, giving a nice coating of sauce to every part of the noodles instead of letting most of the sauce pile up on top. Prices are reasonable as well!“

“The Peking Duck here is tasty with rich flavor and crispy skin, but the meat itself was a bit too tough and chewy, making it hard to bite through cleanly. While the seasoning and presentation were enjoyable, the texture of the duck could definitely be improved for a better dining experience.“

“Probably the best Halal food on Broadway. He is reasonable, friendly, and most importantly, the food is incredible! He even gives you a couple falafels while you wait! The only thing is that you have to catch him because he’s not there all the time.“

“Whether you dine-in or order delivery, the food is amazing! Very rare to see authentic hand-made blue corn tortillas in NY. Everything is fresh and delicious. I can’t decide if I like the Tacos or the Quesadilla more! The sauce is actually spicy, and they use queso Oaxaca on their quesadillas which was a +++ for me!!

The environment is very welcoming and staff are very friendly. If you’re looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant, come here! 😋“

“Big plus for me is the variety in the salad. Chick peas, corn, onion,black beans and tomato. Service was quick (and it was a decently long line) and friendly.

Only loses a star for being a little stingy on the meat portion“

“Excelentes pizzas y gran sabor“

“I don’t buy Mobile Cart food much , but this one was good . I just had a 5 min break and didn’t have time to go to a restaurant to order food . Rafiqis had no customers and quickly went and ordered. The price on Tyne right side of the truck isn’t the right amount . They increased the price and had a different rate on the front of the cart ..

Got felafel over rice .. felafel was fresh ….i actually liked their saffron rice . It was fresh and tasted good . They gave it with salad and some sauce on the top. Costed about 11$ , which isn’t bad . Quantity of rice was small but it was good enough ! My friends had lamb over rice and they liked it . Good experience overall …“

“Presented with Very warm welcoming staff with a fresh crispy Falafel on the start.
I ordered chicken over rice with salad
No doubt salad was fresh and white sauce made it awesome in tasty but chicken wasn’t cook well. Could be better but over all joyful experience .“

“Tried the Peking duck Jian Bing after reading all the great reviews. It's pretty rich and filling. I went on a weekday so I was able to order and get the Jian bing in less than 10minutes. It is cash only and located in the same place as Corner 28, this food station is directly across from it in the same building. It’s also take out as there is no seating. I’ll be back to try their crayfish Jian bing too, that was another one with great reviews.“

“los helados deliciosoooooos y le gustaron también a mi perro! 🥰 @Pablo, gracias por tus recomendaciones!“

“The shop is quite small, so you might walk right past it without realizing it’s there. To find it more easily, just remember it’s right next to Dunkin' and has a blue sign.

The service is super nice and friendly, but it’s a takeout-only spot, so keep in mind that you'll need to find a place to eat—unless you can't wait and just eat right there! We walked all the way to Tangram Mall to sit down, but by then, the food was already cold.

When the server asks if you want sauce, make sure to get everything. If you like heat, ask for extra Sriracha; if you prefer something nutty and saucy, ask for more peanut butter sauce. I also grabbed a tea egg for just $1—an absolute steal and very tasty! It leans more sweet than savory, which reminded me of tea egg sweet soup.
It’s definitely worth the money and worth a try if you’re already in Flushing.“

“Absolutely love this place! Great food, friendly people and excellent service.“

“I stumbled upon Big Boss parked near New York-Presbyterian during a hectic day and couldn’t have been happier with my experience. The food was absolutely delicious, I had chicken over rice with veggies and each bite was bursting with flavor. The portions were generous and filling, and it felt like a real treat in the middle of a busy hospital neighborhood. My mom and I enjoyed our lunch 😊“

“Hainan Jones – Delicious Singapore Chicken & Rice!

I tried the combo with roasted chicken and steamed chicken, and my wife ordered the steamed chicken rice. Both were moist, tender, and full of flavor — exactly what you want from authentic Hainanese chicken rice. The portion size was perfect for one person, and the meal came with a warm cup of chicken soup and steamed vegetables, which made it even better. Everything tasted fresh and satisfying. We really enjoyed our meal and would definitely come back!“

“Amazing bakery to go for breakfast and also afternoon when you coming out from work. Great spot. I would recommend you to come and check it out. Delicious bread. Nice and good people. They have Apple Pay too. I didn’t know. I went in today 3:13 pm. I got 9 bread and 2 tamales de salsa verde. good price to be honest.“

“Cash only! (But right next to Chase ATM.) I stopped here between transferring from the E to Jamaica AirTrain before an international flight. I ordered the chicken over rice with white and red sauce. It was very tasty and I did not get sick at all during my flight!“

“Great food and great finds 💯💯💪🏽💪🏽🤏🏽🤏🏽🤏🏽“

“Great ambiance . Everyone should have a good time.“

“Made to order, the couple work as team to get the orders ready, calmly, cute to see.

Wait Time can be longer because they do make them fresh when orders are received. It’s a very crispy snack to eat, and many flavors. Good to try them out, and not many places actually sells these.“

“I went to Tacos El Idolo at about 2:30 am last night while waiting for my friend to get off of work. The truck was unassuming and simple, which was a good sign. I ordered a chicken tostada, a taco arabe, and a carne asada taco. I asked for extra green salsa and the staff happily gave it to me. I ate everything two blocks away outside of Wonderville on top of a city trash can. It was pretty good!

I was surprised as a San Diego native, since I’m used to pretty exceptional Mexican food in Tijuana and the border area. My favorite items were the chicken tostada and carne asada taco. If you’re in the area, they serve until 5 am!“

“A true 6 dollar meal it comes with rice, protein of choice, salad and fries. I usually get chicken over rice with extra pita bread. Comes out to 7 dollars, best food I can get. The drink comes included. However they did charge me for a drink once a few days ago. I’m not sure why I should have asked but I just assumed it was a change but the next day they didn’t charge me it? So I think I just lost a dollar at that point. 😔 but it doesn’t really ruin my experience of this place because other food area near by will charge me 3 dollars for an empanada or 10 dollars for fries. This place I can count on being fast and affordable and always good“

“It was a awesome atmosphere with very little seating options, the food was amazing. I had the Dubai chocolate waffle, and the hot chocolate and it was the best waffle and hot chocolate I’ve had in my life. The service was helpful, but they didn’t do anything outstanding.“

“Very Very Tasty Chicken over rice. One of the best I've had and I've tried a couple. Honestly it even tastes good without any sauces. 10/10

Sidenote: The hot sauce is super super hot! I like spicy food but when I ordered the chicken over rice with the white and hot sauce for the first time on UberEATS, I cried eating it lol. I eventually had to buy another plate with no sauces to mix with the first to dilute the spiciness.

So just use a little bit of hot sauce or ask for it on the side :)“

“son muy ricos y las personas q atienden son demasiado amables“

“Despite some people saying quality went down, I got two platters and I enjoyed them a lot. Chapli, Kofta, and chicken was really good and well seasoned. The rice was fluffy and tasted fine, nothing too crazy. The sauces stood out and were very good and felt very refreshing.“

“This place stands the test of time with its reliable quality. Staff offers a friendly welcome to all visitors. The menu balances delicious options, fresh ingredients, and attractive presentation. Despite size constraints, this place stays busy. You should try their complete selection.“

“Great service, friendly And food very fresh!“

“Love empanadas and tamales , me encantan 😍“

“This cart has such great & tasty food. I am having to stay at aloft for quite a while for work and I love heading down to this cart for a quick but delicious meal. The lamb is so tasty, chicken is flavorful and the service is top tier, less than 5 minutes after I order they have it bagged and ready to go. They also take over the phone orders. I’ll miss this place when I check out! Only 11$!“

“These are best tamales in NYC! 😋
Yolanda and her husband are the kindest people, true hard-working, loving, members of the community. And I've ordered ahead several times, to take to my family in Chicago, DC, etc. There are so many options, and you can get them spicy or not.
It's good to call ahead just to make sure it's a day they're at the corner. SOooo delicious, and I always feel happy after seeing them.“

“Great food, and excellent coffee!“
